Ever watch the news after they stopped saying " film at 11*" then most in the field non-live shots you saw were being played in studio off a U-matic.... It was the first format small enough to be portable yet good enough for broadcast so it was most popular for ENG.... some studio use for archiving and other uses began to trickle in as the better quality open reel broadcast decks got older and fewer.
*Kinda want to post a YouTube link to the opening " film at 11" joke of the Kentucky Fried Movie....
